I got the tranny out today guys, it was the output shaft that snapped. Not sure if there is anything else inside thats gone. I'll have her together in the next few weeks, hope to see all you guys up there again sometime soon.
Hopefully that's the only thing that broke. How did the sheet metal look under there? Any damage from the tranny hitting it? Good luck with the repairs.

Haha oh well it happens, i guess i still need to learn how to drive. There was no other damage, sheet metal is all good, ds still looks good, no missing teeth or anything, just the broken output shaft hanging there. There were some metal shavings in the fluid and around the tail shaft, but all in all it doesnt look too bad.........if thats possible.

They sell hardened output shaft.Not really that difficult to switch out with a press.

Good to know Don, I'll open up the case after the pats game and take a look at changing it out. I have access to a press at work so it wouldnt be too bad to get it changed.

Thanks for the info.

Default Here are a few of my vids....

11.67 @ 119


11.56 @ 121


11.55 @ 121


11.48 @ 121


Just a few of the passes.. I left out the 11.71 and another 11.552 pass since these covered all grounds pretty much of how my day went! I'm looking into drag springs, aftermarket shocks since mine are pretty much blown and stiffer front struts as well to help with lauching and transfer during shifts.... cause it looks like a damn bobble head!! LMAO

Plugging it right into the usb port on the PC right (no Hub)? Sounds like you might have to reinstall the device driver's for the camera. I don't know what the "Converter" is but I doubt it's hardware related. Try removing the driver's/applications for the camera and then reinstalling.

Also make sure you do not have anything malfunctioning in windows Device Manager.

i appreciate the help dan , ive tried that too. i dont havea video card so i have to go from the rca cables to a converter which goes to the pc via usb.
my usb ports work fine with everything else and the converter has well had 3 lights
power, ready, transfer
power lights up, ready lights up then fades out within 5 seconds of being on . and the state the converter is in now it wont work
i hadnt used it since the spring so no idea what happened but it defiently wasnt working . i tried a firewire to usb cable and that didnt work either(directly from the camera) but i probbly need a driver or something for that to even work anyway . i like plug and play

OK I see what you're doing. That sounds like a PIA. Last one I had was a video capture card I connected via RCA or S-vid. Camera now uses Firewire and it's great.

I guess that converter is toast, or it just has a driver issue. Is what you have something like this?

Seriously, just try installing the driver's again, or try another usb port.

If you're camera has a firewire port, screw those stupid converters and get a firewire connection in you're computer.

A lot of new sound cards have FW ports built in too.
